Downtown Glen Cove: The Place Where Good Things Are Happening

The City of Glen Cove has undergone major redevelopment in recent years and is still growing. The Glen Cove Downtown Business Improvement District is a big part of this revitalization movement and is pleased to offer you a chance to be a part of the many exciting events taking place in Glen Cove that will benefit your business. 

The Downtown BID is involved in numerous activities that help to bolster Glen Cove’s downtown, including Downtown Sounds, the Halloween Parade and Festival and the Holiday Festival.

No matter what your particulars, there is guaranteed to be a sponsorship alternative tailored to your needs.

Downtown Sounds

When the series began as Jazz in The Square in 1997, local musicians entertained modest crowds gathered at the plaza in the heart of downtown. Now, 25 years later, having evolved into Downtown Sounds, headline acts perform and the main streets are closed to traffic to accommodate overflow crowds. For nine weeks every summer, Glen Cove’s downtown comes alive with cool tunes, outdoor dining and good times that draw crowds from near and far. 

Halloween Parade and Festival

The Halloween Parade and Festival is a free event for children under 12 and their parents. This event has become a tradition in Glen Cove for hundreds of people as they march through the streets of Glen Cove. After the parade, children are invited to trick-or-treat at the local businesses and then congregate in the center of Downtown Glen Cove for cotton candy, dancing to a D.J., bounce houses, a costume contest and a pie eating contest.

Holiday Festival

For 25 years the Glen Cove Business Improvement District has been celebrating the holidays with Glen Cove residents and their friends. Hundreds of people show up to this festive event to enjoy free pictures with Santa, free candy canes, hot cocoa and treats, live entertainment all day and, of course, the never-ending horse and carriage rides.
